Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HaveDeez Deez Nuts aka Deezlebub (@HaveDeez) reported

    i assume that the battlepass credits on overwatch are for premium or mines just broken

  • cummyKryptid Mocha / Dame 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 (@cummyKryptid) reported

    @RotharTrex @GoodReddit And, given the circumstances with Overwatch, that team is actually well known to have not suffered from many of the issues that ABK suffered as a whole— being a newer team with less “rockstar” attitudes about game development, not to say that they were unaffected, but it wasn’t

  • ahhpa_ ahhpa (@ahhpa_) reported

    why wont overwatch change mysens? @PlayOverwatch fix your ******* game PLEASE

  • cheersgeoff13 CheersGeoff (@cheersgeoff13) reported

    @BlizzardCS Is there still a known issue with Overwatch 2 stats? Minimal amounts of my stats so far in OW2 are actually being tracked. Sinking hours into comp and barely any of it is there. Bad enough with losing all my OW1 stats.

  • snoochgaming SNOOCHGAMINGTTV (@snoochgaming) reported

    Overwatch 2 be like: If your game freezes in comp you take a 75% decrease in XP Me: but it isn’t my fault, your game is broken and you refuse to fix it Overwatch 2 Devs: it’s your fault cause we doing everything right cope

  • lunasinclair Autonomous Angel (@lunasinclair) reported

    Now I'm having server issues in Overwatch. Something's up.

  • AndrewShaw02 Andrew Shaw (@AndrewShaw02) reported

    @_Tom_Henderson_ Yes, just either make it free and actual live service like Fortnite, Apex, Overwatch, etc.

  • Barricade4123 Tracker (@Barricade4123) reported

    @PlayOverwatch hey Overwatch can u fix the credit glitch,it says that things cost coins not the credits like the skins and stuff

  • BurnedSkel Blue is a state of mind (@BurnedSkel) reported

    @Seharuuchan Problem is Amaterasu is like in every single game about gods she is even in overwatch now so it was inevitable

  • subseung_ marie 💫 | kinda ia (@subseung_) reported

    @sunny_atiny i hope so c: and yeah, don’t worry, i’m taking more than enough breaks from overwatch :’) and no problem! c:

  • IanHVG Ian Hunt (@IanHVG) reported

    @Manda_AMSBT Literally been my issue lately. I need to be productive but my brain says Overwatch instead 😭

  • FairyTypeDJ 🐭Dandemaus🐭 (@FairyTypeDJ) reported

    Anyone else experiencing major lag in overwatch ? I blamed it on my Internet originally, but my Internet been sorted since and I'm still getting mad lag

  • Vaydra_ vaydra (@Vaydra_) reported

    Five stacking overwatch and still waiting 10+ minutes in queue. Somethings broken here.

  • imtheoyster ًً (@imtheoyster) reported

    Honestly amazed at how overwatch devs can both solve a problem yet not solve it at all. The health reduction on tanks in open queue is so unfair to junker queen and ram while hog still gets to run free barely affected

  • Twrecks666 BlizzardShill Destroyer (@Twrecks666) reported

    @yeslikeagirlz Gamers instead were saying "but Overwatch is so good that we can ignore the massive issues" And honestly they still are despite the fact Blizzard Is still trash

  • NicholessH Nicholess Morlock-holm (@NicholessH) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Fix you’re servers on overwatch, I just lost a comp game because everyone on my team and the enemy team lagged so bad that we could barely move

  • Shad2JR96 Shad2Jay (@Shad2JR96) reported

    normally I don’t complain about games; but this season of overwatch has been the biggest downfall on ranks considering every game I’ve had people disconnect & leaves me/one of them alone against 5, it’s like dead by daylight if it was an FPS shooter game with all the DC’s..Christ

  • lilycvbed lily (@lilycvbed) reported

    anyone else having an issue in the new season with overwatch rounding up your sens? mine has always been 10.70 but now it says 11 and every time i try to put in 10.70 again it just changes it to 11 again :/

  • djarinspoopet poopet ♡ joel millers husband (@djarinspoopet) reported

    im trying to fix my ****** overwatch aim just so i can start maining soldier 76 my baby girlf

  • TwoDemonsInOne 𝕱𝖗𝖔𝖒 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖆𝖇𝖞𝖘𝖘, 𝕬𝖟𝖗𝖆𝖓 (@TwoDemonsInOne) reported

    @tokkifighter Proceeds to touch it but to FIX it because it's his job as the overwatch mechanic while everyone is asleep.

  • krd471 kyle (@krd471) reported

    @mcquack306 My problem with F2P games is that they ruin progression in some of my favorite games, Overwatch 2 natural progression is just pretty much gone, Halo infinites customization was terrible at launch idk how it is now, and not to mention the infestation of battle passes

  • kirby_pro_16 Makonomics🪩 | VSupporter (@kirby_pro_16) reported

    I know this is probably just me but I definitely feel like Overwatch 2, at least in terms of map design, feels like a prequel more than a sequel since a lot of the stuff that was broken in maps are now repaired.

  • JimoarGaming Jimoar (@JimoarGaming) reported

    @Tomrapidwhinn @DiaLanceaFFXIV @duplakappa Easy. They say most gamers in UK are on ps then Nintendo and MS argues only 10% is Xbox. So taking away any multiplat series (Diablo overwatch crash cod) hurts most UK consumers while helping nobody because Xbox would have gotten those games anyway.

  • asuka_79_ Pooya.k (@asuka_79_) reported

    6) see less toxic players. If overwatch 2 dev listen to the issue of toxicity of the game and leavers in rank. The player's be less frustrated and ditching the game for good and play another game.

  • jackthenewee Jack (@jackthenewee) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent thanks for ruining overwatch with your new patch. Not playing your shite again till you fix it

  • smoothlikemilk alex :) (@smoothlikemilk) reported

    @albedoslover @mondaysfullmoon league is def rock bottom i am well aware 🥹 i gotta test it out fr.. i mean i dont have problems with overwatch or fortnite but idk idk every game is different. i cant even WATCH someone play minecraft for more than 5 minutes or i get shaky and nauseous.

  • KixxPup KixxPup (@KixxPup) reported

    @BlizzardCS it’s been almost 3 months since I’ve tweeted about my discontent problems. Overwatch 2 is the only game I disconnect from. I never lag or have ping spikes. And anytime you guys responded I get sent on a chicken run my problem never gets resolved. (I’m on the ps5.)

  • bwandumb The Middleman's Opinion (@bwandumb) reported

    @TheActMan_YT Just trolls. and to the trans out there that are upset. We're not supporting JK, most of us dislike JK, but we like video games. You probably play Overwatch 2 and I bet you're also a Mercy main, you're apart of the problem, you're just selective with your ignorance.

  • FrontlineGamer Prince Tybalt (@FrontlineGamer) reported

    @IvorBaddic @BRAP_Podcast If I was the CMA I'd seek structural remedies like they've suggested. MScsaud it was for mobile games (King) & live service games (WoW, Overwatch which is Blizzard) & not CoD. Fine. Then MS should have no problem with divestment of Activision.

    @QuinnBenet You look like someone who got wrecked in overwatch 2 while trying to solve a math problem-
